Long-term shelf commitment or One Read Stand?

As I mentioned in my post about the Blind Date with a Bookstore, I selected to receive two books in my curated box and this is a review of those two books.

Mrs. Agent Palmer Reviews Sandi Toksvig’s Friends of Dorothy (and I helped)

I am familiar with Sandy Toksvig thanks to the popular British panel show QI (and its availability on this side of the pond thanks to YouTube). Sandy has been host of the long running show for many years, having taken over the position from actor and comedian Stephen Fry.

When it came to finding another “Blind Date with…” option, my choices were limited. However, when I came across this one during my search, it was definitely right up my alley. And as you have probably already gathered from the title of this post, I am of course talking about a coloring book.
